MEETING OF CREDITORS.
Resumption Of Business by Dunlop
& McCance Discussed.

A well-attended meeting of the credi-
tors of Dunlop a McCance was held
yesterday evening and the situation OF
affairs was fully explained by members
of the firm. The creditors then ap-
ssinted a committee, consisting Of
Judge George l.. Christian and Messrs
l.. L. Bass, John S. Elicit, Miles Cary,
and W. j. johnson, for the purpose of
reporting TO an adjourned meeting to
be held at ) o'clock Tuesday evening
whether an arrangement can be made
for a continuance of the business. In
the mean time it was thought best that
a deed Of assignment which had been
prepared to j. II. Guy and n. w.
Bowe, trustees, should be recorded.
1t was suggested that in the event OF
an arrangement such as above indi-
Gated the deed could be released.
The deed will be put upon record TO-
day.
The committee will meet tomorrow.

The Democrats will nominate four

Much OF our success in November
depends upon the result of to-dav's

mass OF whose voters are Republicans
are doing their utmost to keep the
Worklngmen from the polls. II the
workingmen show the true Democratic
spirit to-day, and refuse to he fettered
by so-called leaders Of Republican an
tecedents, Democratic victory in No
ycmbcr is assured.
Therefore, friends leave your shops,
factories, and stores, and go to the polls.
You have eight good men before You,
and certainly four can be selected from
the list who will represent faithfully
the city and all of its classes and all of
its sections. Remember that the polls
will be open from 6 A. NJ. to 9 p. NJ.
That you haven't got time" will to-

Fur Cloaks and Wraps.

Sealskin and otter remain the most fash
ionable Of all furs for fine wear. Sacques
will suffer no abatement in popularity, and
will doubtless be the most favored of all fur
garments. Longer styles are in paletot and
Newmarket shapes, the latter having fitted
sleeve, the former wider, dolman shaped
sleeve, much like those in the various pelisse
patterns. Many shorter garments in mantel-
ct, dolman and visite shapes will be worn.
One of the most stylish of all of the new de-
signs IS quite like the Medora vfsite in gem
eral effect, save that the back is longer and
the fronts extend almost to the bottom of the
dress.
Very stylish flowing sleeves are seen ON
some of the newest shapes, and others are
quite close fitting, with half open, pelisse
sleeves. While the preference is for plain,
unbranded, long garments, those that are short
are considered much more dressy il there is a
band of contrasting fur around the edge, and
as finish for fronts collar and sleeves
Fitted short jackets are very popular for
young and slender ladies. Matrons and those
inclined to be stout look better in an ample
garment with long back, shorter sides and
very long fronts There is a new shape that
has very graceful curves from the arm to the
bottom of the back, and fronts extending
very nearly to the bottom of the dress This
has mink tails on the bottom for fringe
Other shapes have very short fronts trimmed
across with fringe OF mink tails. Sea otter
and sable are used for trimming the more
elegant garments: plucked otter, Alaska
sable and fine dyed beaver are also in favor
as trimmings.
